Chapter IV · The ceremony
How to marry in Rome.
Legal ceremony
Foreigners can marry legally in Italy, in the town hall or in a villa or hotel room the comune has formally designated for civil weddings. In Rome the civil ceremony takes place in a city-run hall: the Sala Rossa on the Campidoglio (Friday to Sunday only), the Vignola Mattei complex near the Baths of Caracalla, or the Sala Azzurra in Ostia. Bring the nulla osta from your own country's authorities, and pay a higher fee if neither of you lives in Rome. Rules change, so confirm the current requirements with the local registry and your own embassy before you book.
Symbolic ceremony
A symbolic ceremony has no legal effect, so it can take place anywhere and be led by a celebrant you choose. Couples who go this way sign the legal marriage at their home registry office before or after the trip.
The weekend
Each venue page lists its rooms, minimum stay and music curfew where the venue publishes them.
Local custom
Guests take home a bomboniera, a small favour holding at least five sugared almonds (confetti), one each for health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life.
